The Maine Land Use Planning Commission will hold a three-day public hearing on a Canadian junior mining company’s rezoning application for the Pickett Mountain Mining Project, despite objections from intervening parties. The LUPC scheduled public hearings on the Wolfden mining project for Oct. 16, 17 and 18, at Stearns Jr./Sr. High School,199 State St., Millinocket. The proposed mining project is the first real test of Maine’s strict mining law passed in 2017 meant to protect the state’s environment.
